If you plot distance on the y axis and time on the x axis what will the line on the graph look like if speed is steadily increasing?
To simplify, let's take miles as the distance factor and times as at the top of the clock. In this case, you are plotting 1 mile on the y axis and 1:00 on the x axis (1,1,) ,(2,2) and (3,3) etc.
The speed is obviously one mile per hour in this case.(1oclock,1)(2oclock,2)..
Your final line on this graph will look like a 45 degree angle line, however you want your speed to increase.
Since your speed is steadily increasing, you would plot (1oclock,1mile), (1:15,2mile), (1:25,3mile), (1:30,4mile) and the line would look steeper and closer to the y axis.
Makes more sense to me to plot distance on the x axis and time on the y axis...but...
What else can I help you with?
A graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axisif the speed is steadily increasing what will the line representing speed look like on the graph?
If a graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis, and the speed is steadily increasing, the line representing speed will be a straight line.
If a graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis and the speed is steadily increasing Will it be a straight diagonal line?
No, if the speed is steadily increasing, the graph will not show a straight diagonal line. Instead, it will show a curve that is sloping upwards, indicating acceleration. This is because as time progresses, the speed is increasing at a constant rate, resulting in a curved line on the graph. A straight diagonal line would indicate a constant speed over time.
A horizontal line on an acceleration graph would indicate?
-- constant acceleration -- speed increasing at a steady rate -- distance increasing as the square of the time since everything started
How can you calculate the speed in a distance time graph?
speed is the gradient under the distance vs time graph which is change in distance /change in time
How can speed be determined from a graph of distance vs time?
Slope of the graph will give you speed.

Not curved.
If a graph shows distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis and the speed is steadily increasing what will the line representing speed look like?
The graph of the speed will be an upward curving line increasing in curvature toward the vertical.Speed is the slope of the distance/time graph. If the speed is steadily increasing, then the slope of the line is steadily increasing. Assuming that time increases from left to right on the graph, the line curves up as it proceeds from left to right.The line representing speed would look like an increasing function, whose slope will be the acceleration.A parabola of form y=ax^2+bx+c, the a,b,c values depending on the rate of increase and initial value.
How can you tell from a graph that speed increases?
If the slope of the graph increases, then speed is increasing. This can be seen as a steeper incline on the graph. Another way to tell is if the distance covered in a specific time period gets larger, indicating a higher speed.
How is a distance- time graph different than a speed time graph?
The variable plotted along the vertical axis is the distance in the first case, speed in the second. The gradient of (the tangent to) the distance-time graph is the speed while the area under the curve of the speed-time graph is the distance.
A horizontal line on an acceleration graph would indicate?
-- constant acceleration -- speed increasing at a steady rate -- distance increasing as the square of the time since everything started
How can you get speed and distance covered by a body from distance time graph?
To get speed from a distance-time graph, you would calculate the slope of the graph at a given point, as the gradient represents speed. To calculate total distance covered, you would find the total area under the graph, as this represents the total distance traveled over time.
Why area below the distance-time graph is used to calculate speed?
That's not correct. If you have a graph of distance as a function of time, the speed is the slope of the graph.
How can you calculate the speed in a distance time graph?
speed is the gradient under the distance vs time graph which is change in distance /change in time
What trend can you see in the graph you made from the data table on the previous page about the distance traveled by a car?
The trend in the graph is that the distance traveled by the car increases steadily over time. This indicates that the car is moving and covering more ground as time progresses. The slope of the graph represents the speed or rate at which the car is traveling.
If a graph curves upward how does that affect the speed of an object?
This entirely depends on what the graph is charting, but generally, an upward curve reflects an increase in some quantity like distance or acceleration and is a positive correlation with speed increase. However, it could be an increase of resistance or friction, which would decrease speed.
